Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Before the gods had learned to walk
I taught my brood to wing and stalk
The Dire hunger, the Dire claw
The thing the bleeding world called law
Bolas, Ugin — born beside me
kin and rivals, roar for roar
Long before they wore their godhood
I was hunger, I was war
[Pre-Chorus]
Tooth and talon, scale and claw
What I hunger for, I devour
What I strike at, I will undo
What I take, I take by power
[Chorus]
What you love, I will take
What you build, I will break
And from the ash beneath your throne
A stranger thing will wake
For every shrine I shatter
A stranger god is made
I am the chaos in the wager
That the brave have always paid
[Verse 2]
I do not feast on single prey
The mountains keep my brood in mind
The rivers redden where I land
And every plain I leave behind
A thousand of my children fly
With teeth I taught them how to take
The line of dragons, scale and sky
Is built upon the wars I make
[Pre-Chorus]
Tooth and talon, scale and claw
What I hunger for, I devour
What I strike at, I will undo
What I take, I take by power
[Chorus]
What you love, I will take
What you build, I will break
And from the ash beneath your throne
A stranger thing will wake
For every shrine I shatter
A stranger god is made
I am the chaos in the wager
That the brave have always paid
[Bridge]
But the cleverest of cousins
Reached into my brother's mind
And the rage I made my weapon
Turned the weakest of my kind
They tore through what I treasured
With spears I could not stay
And the apex of the predators
Fled the ruin they had made
[Final Chorus]
What you love, I will take
What you build, I will break
And from the ash beneath your throne
A stranger thing will wake
Where I rose, the world remembers
What I left, it carries still
I am the chaos in the wager
And the wager is hunting still
[Outro]
We may raid where we wish...
We may raid where we wish...
